Queen of Katwe, 2.5 Stars

This is a nice little movie, with strong acting. The story is about a young woman learning chess in her African village and is fairly predictable.

The performances are very good: David Oyelowa (Selma); Lupita Nyong'o (SW: The Force Awakens) and Madina Nalwanga (new to me) all do well and there is a good supporting cast.

The story drags a bit in places and is long at 124 minutes. Still, it would make a good rental and I recommend it.
